Iran 40 day anniversary - Tehran at a standstill

This video is thought to show events in Tehran today, however this is impossible to verify as foreign media are banned from reporting on opposition demonstrations and many international journalists have been expelled. The video shows how protestors stopped in the streets causing the roads to come to a standstill. Demonstrators left their cars, some standing on their roofs, and shouted ant-government slogans. Even the voice of a young child, close to the camera, can be heard chanting "death to the dictator".

Elsewhere in Tehran, 40,000 opposition supporters attending the memorial ceremony at the grave of Neda Agha-Soltan have clashed with police. Other small clashes have been reported across the city and sources claim that the police have used batons and teargas against protestors. Some reports say that shots have been fired by the governtment Basij militia.
